Spring Dress Code

We take pride in the appearance of our students at Grainwood. Most likely, the school's standards for acceptable attire are nearly identical to parents. Therefore, we only have problems when students come to school wearing clothing that their parents would also find unacceptable or inappropriate. With the Spring approaching, please be aware of what your son or daughter is wearing to school each day. If you would like to review our specific guidelines, please view our Family and Student Handbook found on the Grainwood website (just click the Grainwood symbol on the blog; it is a link to our website). Students who come to school dressed inappropriately will be asked to call a parent for a change of clothing. Thanks for your help in this matter. Here are a couple of specific reminders:

Elementary students should not wear:

-Clothes that are provocative, bear profanity, advertise tobacco, drugs or alcohol, display skulls or death symbols, demean a person’s race, gender or other personal beliefs, or cause disruption of the educational process

-Clothing which exposes underwear or shows the midriff

-Shorts and skirts that are higher than finger-tip length

-Straps that are less than two inches in width

-Torn jeans and/or shirts exposing undergarments

-Clothing which contains dangerous items such as chains

-Hats in the building, except for special designated days

-Roller shoes

-Any other item of apparel deemed inappropriate by an administrator
